The traces of supernatural powers have always been crossing the world of human beings. Many people know about the existence of healers, mind readers, oneiromancers and wizards. But for centuries their lives have been kept secret and no one has ever heard about one special place, where those gifted people studied.Neither has Eileen Clark, whose life has never been different from the one other teenagers have.But one day everything changes. Eileen finds out that she belongs to the mysterious world of unnatural and the destiny leads her to Dever - a closed university for the people like her.


Nothing will ever be the same again...

New life, new friends, new enemies...
But the true love will never let her down. It will help to go through everything....
The story begins with a strange dream, which has been torturing Eileen for nights. Trying to find out its hidden meaning she leans on her best friend Amanda for help. The two of them go to a fortune-teller, who predicts changes in Eileen's life. Eileen and Amanda, whose family is one of the seven founders of Dever, go there to start new life and get education. Coming to the university Eileen meets Christian, Amanda's brother, whom she falls in love with from the very first sight. But, as it turns out later, Christian is in love with her too. 
They couldn't even imagine that many years ago their lives were bound by magical spells. But now they have to find out why...

Thank you!

So, this was quite... interesting. I read this a week ago and I'm kind of procrastinating on everything since school just started this week.

Eileen is special. She has supernatural powers from her unknown father. So she had to go to this school with her best friend. People there are all like her, kids with supernatural talents.

Eileen meets Christian at Denver. Christian is Amanda's (Eileen's bff) brother. Eileen and Christian had one of those love-at-first-sight moments. I'm not such a big fan of those unless it's written well. They find out that they have a special bond that was made years ago. So they had figure out why and kill all the evil people and stuff. You know, the usual.

I wasn't that impressed by this book. This is one of those meh books. I felt weird reading about their kissing scenes. I think it was something about it feels really good like their bodies are on fire. I just felt weird, okay? Another one of my problems was how Eileen is so easily manipulated! I mean, the characters in this book created all kinds of distractions so Eileen wouldn't learn something about their mission. I mean, c'mon! So what if she knew? She's going to find out sooner or later anyways. Why not just rip off the bandage! And I think she's really slow at figuring things out.

It's probably just personal preference but I like a more kickass heroine. Eileen just... doesn't suit my taste. (Well that sounds weird) I wish this could have been more exciting. I feel like this just dragged on and on and ooooooooonnn. Okay, you get my point.

Well, if you feel like this sounds interesting, then go right ahead. I'm not going to stop you from reading it.
